Before and After:  My Garden's Blooming! A while ago, I showed you how to build a garden box and plant it. Here's how my garden first looked after I planted seeds and seedlings in it. To see how it's growing, read more. It's definitely taking off. I had to add a trellis to support some vining cucumbers and peas, and will have to add more supports for my vining plants soon.

Garden Therapy:  Egglings Too darn cute. Egglings ($9.50) are handmade ceramic pieces that look like large eggs. Use a spoon to crack it, and instead of finding a hardboiled egg, you'll be presented with a garden just waiting to grow.

DIY: Grow an Herb Garden Indoors Want an easy way to get into gardening. Then try an indoor herb garden! Supplies: To learn the steps, read more. Here's how, compiled from Beautyjust4you and GardenGuides:
  1. Choose a location for your garden that gets at least 5 hours of sun a day, preferably near a Southern or Western window.
  2. To keep the soil from coming out of your container's drainage hole, cover it loosely with some gravel or screen mesh.
  3. Sit your pot in a saucer to catch the drainage.
  4. Fill your pot with 2/3 organic potting soil mix.
  5. For better selection and advice, go to a nursery that specializes in herbs to buy your plants.
  6. Choose herbs that need similar amounts of sunlight (i.e., rosemary, thyme, parsley, basil, and oregano all need 5-6 hrs.)
  7. Place the taller herbs (i.e. rosemary) in the center of your pot, and the others around the sides.

Enjoy Garden Herbs Year-Round Like many other gardeners, I've enjoyed the convenience of stepping onto my deck to pick sage, basil, marjoram, parsley, and many other herbs throughout the summer. These herbs were a great addition to salads and entrées, and left my tastebuds humming throughout many a meal. As the temperature drops across the country, some gardeners may have already resigned themselves to giving up their herbs until next spring.

Garden Stakes With Style One reason I like having a garden is because it gives me another excuse to buy accessories, and lately, I've been dying to get my hands on these very stylish garden stakes. Some of them, like these Nina Gibson Designs Herb Garden Plant Markers ($20, above right), actually serve a purpose. Others are purely decorative or unabashedly cheeky, with messages like "Grow Dammit." I've found all sorts of stake styles to add some style to your garden. To find your favorite, click on the photos below. http://teamsugar.com/bookmarks/tags/Stylish+Garden+Stakes
